Adventures of an Accident prone pair of country girls. Monthly Archives: July 2014. July 30, 2014. When you think of drought, most often the mental image is of a farmer struggling with his brown and dry crops, or sick thin and starving cattle. But what about the houseyard? For a lot of farmers their home is their haven, and our home is no less true of the fact. Mum is an amazing gardener, and we have become almost selfsufficient by virtue of her green thumbs. Our rose garden is long gone these days.

Adventures of an Accident prone pair of country girls. In an age of personal responsibility. Winning the Break, part 2 →. Standing at the Break, a farm injury part 1. May 6, 2014. It was silent, that was the worst part. All those white and blue gowned people, not saying a word as they laid me out on a stainless table, each of them preparing to do things to me that I knew would be unpleasant. How on earth did I end up here? I am a healthy, happy and reasonably fit country girl. I’m not sick! When I bought...

Adventures of an Accident prone pair of country girls. A houseyard drought. →. May 28, 2014. Loads of people ask me how I ‘cope’ living so far from civilisation and on a farm surround by nothing but animals, how terribly isolated you are they say. I don’t even fully understand the ‘coffee culture’ of the cities, go to a coffee club to hang with friends, when you can stay home and make your own, and have cake too? Yes, I guess I am isolated…. Is it because we see too much glass, metal and concrete? Why is...

Finally going through one of the last bags from my hospital stay, its called my ‘Silly Bag’ and when I tipped it out one of the first things I found is my diary… Maaan! I used to practically sleep with that thing! But after that, underneath the black book of my ordered life, is about 50 cards, this huge amount that just about covers my entire bed!

Adventures of an Accident prone pair of country girls. Newer posts →. January 29, 2014. Growing up on the land, country people are often surrounded by many animals. They become so attached to the animals they see each day, whether it be a cow in the paddock rearing calves for profit or an old dog, done with his use, but spending his days of retirement happily kicking around the house paddock. The first doe to bag up was my favorite, and I hoped so much that she would produce a girl. The morning the k...

Cassowary’s Casual Stroll | Big Sister Blogs

https://bigsisterblogs.com/2016/12/30/cassowarys-casual-stroll

As a daughter, sister, friend, aunt, wife and mother – in that order. Cassowary’s Casual Stroll. One morning, a surprise visitor in the shape of a cassowary took a leisurely stroll across our front lawn. He didn’t appear to be in any hurry. The cassowary walked along the grass, parallel to our timber verandah, until he reached the end — some 30m. Here are some tips from the Queensland Government, Department of Environment and Heritage Protection. Always slow down when driving in cassowary territory.

Adventures of an Accident prone pair of country girls. Introducing… A new countrygirl! Save the Working dog in Victoria! January 20, 2014. My point in yesterdays post is that you really cannot know the amount of hardship, and the terrible choices that must be made on a farm in drought unless you have physically been there yourself, and made those choices. So yesterday my motivator was the image of my own wonderful dog suffering, and people have responded! The man who with $100 left to his name, must deci...
